Hibachi catering for Penn Yan events

Hibachi catering in Penn Yan means the restaurant comes to you. We have set the grill up in Finger Lakes backyards, Penn Yan rooftops, and Penn Yan living rooms, and the show plays the same in all three: fried rice on the flat top, the onion volcano, and food handed straight off the grill.

Corporate hibachi at Penn Yan offices works for 15 to 60 people; we set up in a courtyard, loading area, or cafeteria patio and run in seated waves.

Penn Yan hibachi catering — common questions

Do you bring the hibachi grill to my home in Penn Yan?

Yes. Every Penn Yan booking is in-home hibachi — the chef arrives with a commercial mobile hibachi grill, propane, all the food, sauces, and serving gear. You provide the space and the tables; we bring everything that cooks. The chef needs about an 8 by 8 foot clear area, and Finger Lakes backyards, driveways, patios, and decks all work.

How much does hibachi catering cost in Penn Yan?

Our hibachi chef service is $44.99 per adult and $30 per child, with a $450 minimum per event. Travel to Penn Yan is a flat $50 for the first 50 miles with tolls included, then $1 per mile beyond that. Those figures are before tax — sales tax is calculated on the event address, so your quote will show it separately.

Which Penn Yan neighborhoods do you cover?

Can I book a hibachi birthday party in Penn Yan on a weekend?

Yes, and weekends are what we do most. We operate seven days a week including Saturday, which is our busiest hibachi party slot in Penn Yan. Summer and holiday weekends fill first, so book two to three weeks out if your date is fixed.

Is this hibachi or teppanyaki, and what does the chef actually cook?

It is Japanese teppanyaki cooked on a flat-top hibachi grill — the same style as a hibachi restaurant, run in your own space. The chef cooks fried rice, vegetables, and your chosen proteins to order, and performs the knife work, the onion volcano, and the catch-it-in-your-mouth routine while cooking. Gluten-friendly, halal, and vegetarian versions are all available.
